Seven years he’s faced champions, to number one contenders to up starts to one hit wonders to future Hall of Famers. He’s faced everyone from HBK to K-Fed. All of them like Sheamus. Never once has Cena looked for a fight, they’ve all made Cena the target. He’s always been the man to beat to become the Champion or put your name on the map. A lot of times he was the man to beat because they wanted to wipe the smile off his face. A lot of guys like Sheamus said they’d end his career, take his title and Cena’d never be the same. Seven years, he’s been beaten, battered, hospitalized, been operated on, smashed with chairs, put through glass, kicked in the skull, in arenas where thousands of people stand behind him. Been in arenas where people can’t stand him. In seven years he’s never given up. He believes in everything he says. He knows he’s on another level. He believes in hustle, loyalty and respect. He believes he earned the right to say The Champ Is Here. It’s Sheamus who better believe in what he says because in seven years one cheap shot and one smash through the table won’t slow him down one bit. Sheamus’s looking at 250lbs of problem he’s made very, very angry. Sheamus glares. Cena says Mr. Cuban is right, at TLC the time for talking is over. It’s simple either back up what you say or Cena’s the one who makes him a footnote in WWE history. Sheamus impresses him but not for one second does he intimidate him. Both push down the tables. Cuban gets in between them. Sheamus looks at Cuban. Sheamus pushes down Cuban and kicks Cena. Sheamus goes to get Cuban pushes down Sheamus!!!
